Tarbuck Earth Science 11th ed

[Dicentra]

I've been looking for resources to go along with the Tarbuck Earth Science text that's been suggested here. I did a search for past threads and came up with some wonderful suggestions and resources (and a great poster who was willing to share her syllabus - thanks!). I also went a-Googlin' (like a-wassailin' but with less singing and imbibing... :D ) and found a few resources that I didn't see on any of the older threads so I'd thought I'd share. Forgive me if someone has already shared some or all of these and I just didn't see - I'm not sure if my forum search turned up ALL the old threads.

 

*Note: These resources are for the 11th ed of the text. It seemed to be the one with the most free resources (and it's cheaper 'cause it's older).

Thanks, my younger DD just decided to do earth science for next year as well. You've saved me some work. Could you post the links to the resources you found in the wtm forum as well?

These are three of the threads that came up when I did a search. I don't know if there are any other links in them but some great discussion about how folks did earth science for high school. There are a few posters that mention having created a syllabus to go along with the text. If you PM them, they might be willing to share. :)

 

If you'd like more, just type "Tarbuck" into the search bar (at the right-hand top of the screen) and it will come up with posts containing that word in the high school forum.
